As far as I know, the only policies we have about writing regression tests are in the Contributors' Guide, section 10.8.2 Writing regression tests. " Regression tests should be as brief as possible to demonstrate the functionality of the code. Regression tests should generally cover one issue per test. Several short, single-issue regression tests are preferred to a single, long, multiple-issue regression test. Use existing regression tests as templates to demonstrate the type of header information that should be included in a regression test. " Sometimes a regression test is intended to show all possible functionality. In such a case, an existing test should be extended to show the added functionality. But where possible, we try to keep tests to a single issue. Personally, I will trust your judgment in this case. Do what seems best.
